OOO

My sister works on an organic farm near the twin cities that does a CSA thing. Most of the workers on the farm are developmentally handicapped, with a few supervisors who are more or less volunteers. I had the opportunity to visit and work on the farm with my sister for a week earlier this year. It was a very unique experience for me, especially after putting work in on the farm and then going to the local co-op and seeing products from the farm for sale. I'm glad people here do CSA programs!

Actually I heard that deodorant companies use the same chemicals in their product that make bikers test positive for dope. Which would explain why the french haven't been kicked out.

I just bought vickets.* *vic tickets.

Jeff said its hard to get that song to translate well into a live concert setting.

I think I know who you are talking about.

the reserved tickets are now actually sold out, but there are still some lawn ones floating around in the ether.

yeah, people need to calm down...some people got tickets, some didn't (me). We'll be fine on saturday.

yeah i got blocked out too...Just have to wait until saturday....sigh

everyone else: wait until noon just to be sure

I thought the presale was at 10? now it says 11?

I'm excited to see what you come up with!

In my opinion, I don't think I'd like Jeff to know a ton of musical theory, since he's done SO well without it. Ditto with Lennon/McCartney and a ton of other untrained songwriters. However, I think it's really a case by case thing. Some songwriters could benefit from a better knowledge of musical theory, and some would probably get worse. Whether it be because they lose their "edge", rely on the rules too much, or just can't think the same way about music after learning all the nuts and bolts...I really do think there are songwriters out there that would be worse with more theory. I ha

I can't recommend "The Golden Compass" enough, and the movies coming out in December, so she'll be ahead of the game if she reads it now!

You have a problem.

I didn't know that they banned childrens books from the ny times best seller list because of harry potter.

happy, happy, HAPPY birthday.

Mace!

he really likes animals, huh?

Thinking about Sky Blue Sky, is there a favorite song or two for you? This is my favorite song from the new album, and Jeff agrees

http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=2240 That is a nice top 10 list of terrible celebrity bands. The Jada Pinkett Smith one is particularly awful. They somehow left off Ms. Hilton though... Any other suggestions?

MIKE WAZOWSKI!

The quality is piss poor. I suffered through it because i was scared my roommates would think it was funny to look up spoilers online and ruin it...but id say just wait for the book.

I have moved on to the wire. I'll live.
